Bug#5379: ispell bug 5379
I've extracted the following from a recent email conversation
I had with Geoff Kuenning, the upstream author/maintainer:
> ...munchlist.X contains this comment, which may be relevant:>
>
> # -w Passed on to ispell (specify chars that are part of a word)
> # Unfortunately, special characters must be quoted twice
> # rather than once when invoking this script. Also, since
> # buildhash doesn't accept this option, the final ispell -l
> # step ignores it, making it somewhat less than useful.
I've done a bit of investigation since your last mail. It turns out
that the problem is caused by icombine, which doesn't support the -w
switch. Adding support, and modifying munchlist to pass the switch to
icombine, isn't very hard. At the same time, I can fix buildhash to
take the same switch so that it'll work properly throughout.
